MHR 300
Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
MHR300 is brutal. This was his first sem teaching it, and curriculum is changing next sem, so take this with grain of salt. Class is 75 mins of him reading his boring slides. Lectures are not interactive. Projects are okay. Exams are brutally specific and require memorization. Mark's requirements and instructions are inconsistent and hard to find.
